no been to plenty of other beaches much further to just sit and lounge on the beach, they are not as good.

again tell me where there are better beaches, actual beaches

i have been to the ones in Hawaii, i love hawaii and its breath taking but the actual beaches if looking to lounge and just relax....thats not them

the carribean...ok i can give you that but the sand is better in florida gulf coast

mexico atlantic side...nope, beaches are small and not nearly as good imo. pacific side...not that great for actual swimming and water is cold af

other pacific islands- similar to hawaii, huge surf, sand is not nearly as nice and fluffy and hurts the feet, lots of coral and rocks etc. now if talking over water bungalow....little different but water is cold af

west coast beaches along the pacific :rotflmao:

atlantic side of florida and eastern seaboard :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:


I havent been to Greece or those along the MED so maybe there.

If I can’t surf, it can’t be my favorite beach

Because it is far more fun to be drunk and stoned on the beach than it is to be stuck in fricking Cincinatti working in whatever the hell people work in in Cincinatti....

I understand hating the beach itself...sand sucks.....but hating the state of Florida because its hot is more on you than Florida...if you did not know it might be hot in Florida in June

Had to look up that reference…

We like the idea of being on the water in what isn’t a beach town. About to find out what condition it’s in.

i just said i havent been to those...but the places people like to point to...usually are not as good as far as beach goes...vacation wise...yea better overall because there is more to do

i plan to go to the med within next 8-10 years and prolly do South America within next 5

its not like i havent been to other places and 30A or the gulf coast is all i know. In fact almost always take at least 2 other vacations other than the gulf. But i do really like the gulf beaches especially when going with my kids.

which beach specifically? where do you recommend in South America that is great beach, safe to explore and lots to do

same with the beaches on the med, which ones

genuinely curious your recommendations.

like i loved everything about hawaii but would prefer better beach for sure. the black and red and the cliffs are all cool and beautiful but not really beaches you chill at.

The poors go to the beach during the summer. The not poors go in the early spring/fall when it's not too hot.


This.

Only time I go to the beach is to go surfing. I go to places like St.Augustine, Tampa or Orlando during the week since I am off work alot during those days.

If you go back to Hawaii, go to Oahu and stay at Turtle Bay. Absolutely amazing property with lots to do. Beaches are beautiful.

We usually stay on the north shore. Just a awesome place too see. Sandy Beach is beautiful also.

I disagree. I'll take Greers Ferry or lake Ouachita over a Florida beach 7 days a week. Hell I'll sit my happy arse in the Buffalo river before I go back to the beach.

What’s your alternative? When it comes to beaches it’s Florida or Hawaii

I always heard the line in the Jimmy Buffett song "incommunicado" that was released 3 years before Algore created the internet, so i had no idea who either John Macdonald or Travis McGee was. Walking through the library one day, i saw a Travis McGee paperback and checked it out. Since then, I collected all of the series, and my goal is to read them through in one summer. I've never made it, but they are the perfect books for my Walter Mitty persona on a beach vacation.
